https://cfmsummit2019.sg/ All speakers and delegates are by invitation only. Mechanicians who would like to follow the proceedings online, I will be live-tweeting updates as the event progresses, so follow me on Twitter at https://twitter.com/JingjieYeo Scheduled to be held from 8 to 10 April 2019, the Century Fracture Mechanics Summit will feature an international line-up of influential and visionary speakers from around the world.

We recently presented an original research that uses 3d printing to realise the mimicry of the microstructure observed in crystalline metals to employ crystals’ hardening mechanisms to develop robust and damage-tolerant architected materials (Nature 2019; 565:305 - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0850-3).

Dear colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the International Workshop on Plasticity, Damage and Fracture of Engineering Materials, which will take place in Ankara, Turkey on 22-23 August 2019. The deadlines for abstract and full paper submissions are April 19 and June 17 2019,respectively.

Post-doctoral research fellow positions are available in the Labs of Professor Satya N. Atluri at Texas Tech University. Those possessing PhDs in the area of nonlinear dynamics, computational mechanics, and structural dynamics are sought.

(Yang et al Adv. Funct. Mater. 2019, 1901721). In our new paper, strong adhesion is achieved in integrated structures of a hydrogel and an elastomer extrusion-printed in arbitrary sequence.
